They won't die... Max hit is 5, and the monsters hp is 10... if I hit them for a 5, then it hits the Repeat/Until Loop and somehow, the monsters hp reloads to 10...

I think I'm just really tired and not seeing the obvious here... something please give me a hint? lol

+ Code Snippet

Forest:
Print "You Have Come Across A Savage!"
   Print
      Print "Get Ready.."
       Sleep 4000
         CLS

Rem Savage details
Mname$="Savage" `Monster name
Mlevel=5        `Monster Level
Mhit=RND(5)     `Damage the monster can recieve
Mhp=10          `Monsters hitpoints
Mexp=Mlevel*2   `Experience the monster gives after being killed

Fight:
Repeat
   Print "You hit The Savage for ";
      Print Mhit;
         Print " damage!"
            Mhp2=Mhp-Mhit `Calculate Hitpoints level after being damaged
               Sleep 2000
                  Until Mhp2<0  `Stop hitting when Monsters HP is less than 0
                     CLS

         Print "You Killed The Savage!"
            Sleep 2000
               K=0
                  L=K+1  `L=the number of Monsters Killed
                     CLS
                        If L=5 then GoSub Town
                  If L<5 Then GoSub Fight

ill keep trying to fix it, but what its doing is only subtracting the hitpoints from it one time, then it doesnt do it anymore. Ill post back if i find out why

Video games…they can take you places unreachable, impossible, unfeasible. They put you in the book...they put you in the movie...they put you in a world, a world that before could only be imagined.

ok, what its doing is taking mhp=10 each time and subtracting from it each time, but mph is reseting at 10 each time, so ill try and figure out how to fix that part of it

k, got it, change the "Mhp2=Mhp-Mhit" and the "Mhp2" to "Mhp=mph-mhit" and "mph"
This updates the mph instead of creating a new variable, which is what you need to do

K this is what I have now. Your idea did work, until the second fight where the Mhp isn't updated to 10 again...

It still calculates Mhp as only being the remaining HP left over form the first fight...

First fight: hits 5 twice, savage dies
Second fight: hits 5 once, savage dies.. should hit at least twice

Here's what the code looks like after trying to fix it myself

Sorry, source went weird again...

+ Code Snippet

Rem Savage details
Mname$="Savage"
Mlevel=5
Mhit=RND(5)
Mhp=10
Mexp=Mlevel*2

Fight:
   Print "You hit The Savage for ";
      Print Mhit;
         Print " damage!"
            Mhp=Mhp-Mhit
               Sleep 2000
                  If Mhp<0 then gosub Death
                     If Mhp>0 then gosub Fight
                        CLS

Death:
         Print "You Killed The Savage!"
            Sleep 2000
               K=0
                  L=K+1
                     CLS
                        If L>5 then GoSub Town
                  If L<5 Then GoSub Fight

That's what I ended up with after trying to modify what you had suggested, and it's the only thing that came close to what is supposed to be happening... I'll keep trying
